IT Jobs Of The Future

It can be tricky to decide where to focus your skills in this sector, but if you are an IT graduate or you are re-training to work in this area, you may be interested in the following ideas. These are the top five IT jobs in Ireland at the moment:

1. IT project management. This role currently tops the charts of the jobs most likely to be in demand in the future, and it doesn’t always require an IT degree. If your communication and organisational skills are strong, this might be a good avenue to consider.
2. Software systems developers. A software systems developer creates and modifies software systems, and this is crucial across most industries, including the public sector. This requires a skillset that is likely to remain in high demand for years to come.
3. Software tester. Since technology has progressed at such a staggering pace in the last twenty years, software testers are in very high demand in many areas. This role accounts for twenty percent of jobs in the IT industry, and is all about locating bugs and identifying problems in new software packages.
4. Technical support. Because users are handling more advanced technology than ever before, comprehensive technical support is vital. Those with the skills to support the customers and users of a product, whether at home or in large businesses, will be essential to the future of IT.
5. App developers. Imagination and creative vision will be a key asset if you are considering app design as a potential career path. Developers are in demand for app development across many industries, including multinational corporations, local companies and even government organisations.
